Hamilton County Reporter

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Crash Team is investigating a single-vehicle crash that left one person dead.

Deputies were sent to the area of Southeastern Parkway and Connecticut Avenue in the far southeastern part of the county shortly before 9:20 p.m. on Sunday on the report of a motorcycle crash just south of the intersection.

According to an initial crash report, deputies believe Charles H. Theobald IV, 45, Fortville, was southbound on Southeastern Parkway on a 2010 Harley-Davidson XL 1200 and failed to follow a curve in the road. The motorcycle left the pavement down an embankment where it struck a tree, causing Theobald to be ejected from the bike. Medics applied first aid treatment, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Toxicology test results are pending. Theobald was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. There were no witnesses to the incident. Anyone with information pertaining to the crash should contact the Crash Team at (317) 773-1872.
